Portland is mapping out what city transportation will look like over the next 20 years

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 6, 2025

Portland is moving to take a holistic look at transportation in the city, seeking proposals for a comprehensive plan that officials say will set the stage for how streets, sidewalks, buses, bikes and ferries work together over the next two decades. The plan is expected to explicitly build on three of the city’s other major long-term undertakings: the comprehensive plan and policy guide known as Portland’s Plan 2030; its climate strategy, One Climate Future, a joint undertaking along with South Portland; and a rewrite of land-use rules dubbed ReCode.
